Boiling MILK For Children.


 While milk is kept on ice, in the milk mans can or in the domestic refrigerator, it is continually receiving the germs, becoming more and more infected with the germs of decomposition. The practical lesson from all this is the necessity of boiling milk or other artificial food for children shortly be- fore it is given as nourishment. This cannot be too strongly impressed upon the minds of all concerned in the welfare of children, and the younger the child the greater the impor tauce of observing the rule.
 In the earliest months of life a feeding bottle of some sort is a necessity, but it should be discarded as soon as possible. A child may be taught to drink from a glass or cup at quite an early age, and the earlier the better. The construction of the nursing bottle is such that great care, constantly ob- served, will alone insure safety. The sim pier the form of the bottle the easier it will be to keep it clean. Two of them should be in use, one in a strong solution of bicarbon- ate of soda, after thorough scalding, while the other contains the food for immediate feeding. Carelessness in the management of the feeding-bottIe is the cause of death in numberless instances every summer. The ! presence of decomposing food in the diges- tive tract of the child acts as powerful ir- l ritant, probably by reason of poisons devel- oped from the undigested articles of food by the process of putrefaction. Pure sugar, than which nothing can be less harmful when decomposed by the growth of the yeast-plant, produces alcohol and earbonic acid gas, both powerful poisons to the higher grades of life, and in considerable quantity destructive to the very agents (the plants) which produced them. In the same way all foods, when decomposed, produce deadly poisons. Some of them act something like croton oil and the other irritant vegetable poisons, and cause profuse watery evacua- tions from the bowels" summer complaint" " Others resemble opium or morphine-cause stupor and convulsions.

 The people of South Brooklyn, New York, are interested in the proceedings begun be- tion whether the Salvation army shall con- tinue to conduct it's meetings in the Temple in Harrison street, formerly the Middle Re- formed Dutch church, with the amount of noise which marked the services for the first few weeks after the church passed into it's new hands. The respectable people in the vicinity of the church were scandalized by the disturbance created in that quiet neigh borhood by the advent of the army, particu- 1arly when special services were held to celebrate an anniversary. So they cast about for some means of quieting the excess of en- thusiasm which was manifested. As the section of the army which conducts these services is not incorporated, it cannot hold the church property in it's own name, and the title rests in Morris H. Smith, who con- sented to purchase it for those in charge of the meetings. When the residents of the neighborhood sought to moderate the noise they decided to hold him responsible as the landlord for the conduct of his tenants It was an unusual proceeding to arrest the ly house, but no other statute covered the case, as the Salvation army was unthought of when the Penal Code was drafted.

A Grizzly Honey-Thief.

stFrom the Los Angeles Express.l
 The Hutchinson Brothers have large api
 ary up at Victor Tejunga. It is an isolated
 place, far from real estate booms and the
 haunts of men. But it is a good place for
 bees, and there as rule they toll unmolested except by their owners, the Hutchinson boys.
 The country is rugged, but romantic. The quiet life of the little rural retreat was turned into the greatest excitement last Thursday night. While the Hutchinsons were asleep and dreaming of the great sums of money they would make this season stranger entered the camp. He was not slow in making his presence felt and heard. The sleepers were suddenly awakened by sounds that suggested small cyclone raging among the stands of bees. One of the men 1 got up, looked out of the window, and what was his consternation and terror to see the faint outlines of huge brown colored mon ster upsetting the beehives and working de- struction with property that took months and years to accumulate. The surprised spectator hastened to his brothers bedside and told what was going on at the aptary. The two rushed out, one taking 8 rife. The bear was evidently hungry, for he made savage lunges at the boxes filled with delicious honey. He would take 8 few
  for another stand. The Hutchinson boys concluded that if they did not act on the instant the bear would soon leave them with out an occupation. The gun was levelled and discharged.
 The ball found it's way through the thick hide of bruin back of the left shoulder. It was evidently almost 'eenter shot" for the animal fell But he remained on the ground but second. He arose, enraged with pain, and made frantic plunges at the nearest hives. Meanwhile the men advanced lit tie. The bear caught sight of them and made rush at them. When within twenty feet of where they stood his progress was ar
 rested by another leaden messenger. It
 struck vital part and once more the huge
 bear fell. This time he did not get up. A
 third ball was put into his side, which caused his death. Upon examination it was found to be grizzly cub about two thirds grown. Next day he was dressed and weighed. The scales tipped at seven hundred pounds.

And my clothes were wet and there was wa ter in my shoes.
 ''But it was good day and we worked at the hay again. We moved down what the farmer called 'slather' of it. And that night after I had rested awhile on the cellar and milked the twelve cows-twelve kickers and one of them thought I was trying to kidnap her calf and chased me out of the yard-the farmer said it looked like rain again, and he reckoned we'd better go out and cock up that hay before bedtime.
 "And before we got to the field I saw the morning star, and when had got up twelve punches of hay and the old hypocrite of a farmer four, heard lark. Then when I had up twenty-fo four punches and the farmer six it began to grow quite light.
 "When the farmer saw it he laid down on the hay and laughed for ten minutes. He said we had worked right through the night without knowing it.
 "But had known more about it than he thought had.
 i've worked an hour longer and then we went to the house and I milked. Breakfast wasn't quite ready, and I threw a couple of cubic yards of sand out of the bottom of the cellar.
 "And while we were eating the farmer told me to hurry because he would like to get in one full days work during having. I said would too, and that would stop and go out and harness the horses. And he said that was business, ana I went out and ran down the road and walked into town.
 "And now I am looking for that old liar of a physician and surgeon who told me about the long nights sleep would get on a farm"

ssFORETGN PAUPERs. ,,

The people of England are beginning to find out that even if s'pauper immigration is a good thing for this country it is not good thing for England. MT. Arnold White, author of ttThe Problems of 8 Great City," has written to the London Times as follows: Until 1880 the occasional visit of few re- ligious or political refugees enabled us to re- fleet not only that we are not as other men are, but our virtue was not at variance with our financial interest. Protestant Calvinists, who were driven from France after the revo- cation of the Edict of Nantes, brought to England not only new industries, but the skill and means to follow them. The addi- ton of the Huguenot element to the English community in 1885 was as beneficial to Eng land as it has proved injurious to France. But there is no similarity between the habits, training, knowledge, skill and means of the Huguenot silk weavers of two centuries back and the ignorant Russians and Poles driven from their own country and refused asylum in the United States who are allowed to set tie in England without limit or restriction. England" as ground for perpetuating the serfdom of capital in the cheap tailoring and other trades. If these are the traditions of England it is high time they were changed.
 MT. White demands "drastic and perma- nent means for excluding foreign paupers" and says that 'fsurely the wiser course of our rulers to pursue is to see that England is no longer the rubbish heap on which discard ed elements of Continental societies may be shot with impunity." He has nothing to say about England using this great, glorious and altogether too free country as rubbish heap. But he should know that it is becoming as plain in this country as in England that pauper immigration is very undesirable and should be drastically and permanently ex- cluded. It is to be hoped that the rulers of England will be so impressed with MT. Whites statement of the evils of such immi- grafton that they will stop spending public money in sending the inmates of their work houses to this country. If they do not it behooves us to devise some drastic and permanent means for excluding foreign paupers.'

A new test for we'll water in milk has re- gently been prepared by Herr Szilasi. This depends on the fact that sulphate of diphe- nylamine is colored blue by the action of an ex- ceedingly dilute solution of nitrate. As well water always contains more or less of nitrate, it's presence in milk can be detected. The test is carried out thus: Twenty minims of sulphate of diphenylamine are placed in small porcelain vessel, and few drops ot the milk which is to be examined added to it. If this contains even per cent. of aver age we'll water, blue tinge will gradually distinctly appear. Sulphate of diphenyla- mine is easily procurable and cheap, so the test may be readily tried.

The buyer and the seller. The buyer must depend upon the seller, accept his word, be guided by his judgment, and the seller de- bends also upon the buyer, is advertised by his good opinion and retains him and his friends as customers.
 This is our business plan exactly; it works to mutual advantage and brings both parties satisfaction. Our suits for summer wear apply directly to the wants of all men, young men and boys from the tender age up to that merging in manhood. Our salesmen understand their business and will not let an i'll fitting suit go out of the store.
 The popular patterns of cloth and styles of suit are laid out lere for convenient in- spection. The Sacks and the Frocks run an even race. Both good, both the best of their kind. The prices are right. The fair price is all we want, and that our customers are willing to pay.

Ernest Michel, the noted French traveller who has just made trip around the world in 240 days, says that this journey may now be made much more eheaply and comfortably than few years ago, and that transportation facilities on sea and land have so greatly im- proved that even this limited time affords many advantages for study and deliberate sightseeing. As for the expenses, he says that the journey around the world can be comfortably made by those who know how to travel at cost of $s day. For $2,0OO he says the trip can be made with the great est comfort. His estimate, however, does not leave much margin for the purchase of kniek-knacks and souvenirs of the journey.
